Chapter 9:

I woke up in an odd place it was a large apartment but it wasn't mine suddenly Wally entered the room "Hi, you finally awaken" Wally said with a smile in your face "Where am I? Where is Dick? Where is the Joker?" I asked "Slow down, your father is okay he is still asleep in another room, you are at my house welcome, and sadly the Joker escaped the police were looking for him they searched the whole town but he just disappeared" Wally said trying to calm me down. I felt my legs and they were covered with bandages "Thanks" I said "You are welcomed; it was nothing I was doing my regular night patrol when I found a lot of cops so I thought I better investigate then I saw you and your father on the floor so I brought you here" Wally answered "Oh gosh I'll be late for school" I said "I don't think you should go I already told Jai to tell the teacher you had a bad fell" Wally said "No its okay I want to go I just need some crutches" I said "Okay if you think you are able to I will bring you ones I have a spare just in case" Wally said I grabbed the crutches and left it sure was a long trip but gladly I make it in time.

I arrived and said hi to everyone Jai saw me and rushed to me "I thought you wouldn't come" Jai said "I am fine I just needed crutches" I said "Can I help you with anything?" Jai said "No thanks" I said "Okay the lets go to class partner" Jai said smiling. At class I tried to concentrate but I just couldn't the Joker's laugh was all over my mind I hate that guy first he takes away my mother's strength along with her happiness and now he stabs my father to his death thanks god he was reanimated I wanted that guy to pay for what he has done. The classed finished and Jai approach to me "What happened to you, you were completely blackout?" Jai said "None of your business!"I yelled at him "Hey I was just trying to help" Jai said "Sorry, I guessed I am a little turn down because of what happened yesterday" I apologize "What happened exactly?" Jai asked "You mean you don't know" I said "No the only ones that know are my Dad and Iris I was out at the time my Mom and when I got back my Dad told me that he found you at the street bleeding next to your Dad but he didn't let me to see you because of your condition" Jai answered "Ahh I see" I said with relief at least he didn't know I went as vigilante for a while "So are you going to tell me or not?" He asked "I don't know if Dick wants me too" I lied "I understand" Jai said, Gosh I felt terrible he was trying to help me and understand me and there I was lying to him but it was necessary I don't want people to know about me the least the better I mean is not just something that you tell your friends like Hi did you saw the game last night and by the way I am a super hero No! You just can't bring that subject up it is not normal well, I was never really normal I was the typical nerd girl that her mother overprotected and now when I finally have friends I have to tell them lies.

I went home and Dick finally arrived his chest was covered with bandages and his legs were filled with bruises and he had a big cut in his face "Hey, how are you feeling?" I said "I'll be fine" he said "The important thing is that how are you feeling?" Dick asked "Well, my legs hurt, I can't use them right know but in two days I will be as good as new" I answered "Just one important thing… What the hell you where thinking you just can't fight the Joker he is too strong!" He yelled at me "If I wouldn't you be dead!" I yelled at him back "I would have been fine!" Dick said "That's a lie and you know it!" I said then he suddenly blacked out there was his cold face again he just turned around and locked himself on his room I realized I wasn't doing any good staying in the house so I went for a "walk" to the park I grabbed my crutches and left. The park was so beautiful and peaceful it helped me relaxed and take off my mind that little argument I had with Dick earlier I walked by the park's lake and saw ducks swimming and splashing around it was beautiful I was walking back home to apologize to Dick but then I saw a familiar shape far away I got closer and there was Iris "Hi, I didn't imagined you out of bed" Iris said "Nice to see you" I said "What are you doing here?" I asked "Ah, I just had a fight with my stupid brother and needed a walk" Iris said "Family problems, what a coincidence I just had an argument with Dick so I decided to take a walk too" I said "This argument of yours… was it about what happened yesterday?" Iris asked "Yeah, about that please I beg of you don't tell anyone about yesterday" I said "Okay, No problem your secret safe with me" Iris said "Why did you missed class?" I asked her "I pretended to be sick to ditch class I don't really like school I got good grades and I am smart but I am just more an action person" Iris said "I can tell, but well it was nice seeing you but I better go Dick will be mad if I arrived late" I said "Goodbye" Iris said as she left I waved at her and left.

I arrived home and Dick was sitting in the couch with a cup of coffee waiting for me it seemed that he was mad "I know you are mad but please let me explain!"I said in a rush "No I am not mad, relax I just want to apologize for yelling to you I just was worried but I never thank you, you saved my life and I was a total jerk can you forgive me?" Dick said "Only if you forgive me" I said "There is nothing to forgive you for" he said "Thanks, big guy" I said "For what?" He asked "For everything" I said
